Go to photobucket or imgur or what is it like tinyimg? A file hosting place where you can freely upload a few images. They're a site that runs on providing permission to host images, so it is a part of your terms of service. Once you have done that, save a picture, and use your own webspace to host the picture.

Otherwise you're doing something called "hotlinking". Using someone else's webspace, which is considered rude, and people often employ scripts to prevent you from doing it. :P

Once you have your OWN photo hosting site, take the url from where your picture exists and put it inside an [img] tag. An [img] tag works like this:

My friend and I had a neat idea that some spirit in the spirit world allowed for a special group of Avatar Assassins, like when an Avatar when hella evil, but also Avatar Guardians to keep an Avatar from being killed in the Avatar state.

They'd be allowed to bend two elements. Not three or four. I think I mentioned this before.

I hate saying this (every time I say anything on this avatar thread someone misinterprets it and tries to tear me limb from limb)As far as I am concerned, there are probably a lot of places where the elements mix anyway. Very little in the universe is purely one element or another. If faced with mud, wouldn't both a water bender AND an earth bender have equal facility handling it? it's just as much water as earth. There's also the whole Iroh I's method of using the methods of other bendings to adapt your own. As I have said many times before, I imagine lava handles much more like water than fire (and since it is molten rock, an earthbender should be able to do something with it too). Waterbending can freeze water though I am still a little unsure exactly how (I get that ice is frozen water, but the actual freezing would seem to be best accomplished by either something air like (blowing the heat away until it freezes or fire (sucking the heat out of it) I knoiw it is done, but I am baffled as to how it is done mechanically). but once you have the ice, I imagine it handles more like earth. So what Iroh taught Zuko is in fact not an innovation, in mastering their own elements, benders must pick up skills that are very similar to those being used for others.) You "evil avatar thing" reminds me of my one idea of what would happen if an Avatar actually DID go hella evil (imagine a world where Ozai was the avatar). And that there are probably three other "evil" bendings corresponding to bloodbending. Water can't be the only one with a nasty side (earthbenders should be able to snap bones, air benders suffocate or make people explode, and fire benders cause spontaneous human combustion).

Well, after having seen Korra, I also had the idea that, if there are things you can do to a person to permanently knock out their bending (in the absence of what Korra did, Amon's changes would be permanent) there may be things you can do that do the reverse, make a person unable to control their bending, or stop bending turning them into masses of destruction. Eye Guy (or whatever that firebender who could bend with his mind was called) managed to blow his own arm off learning. I imagine that that is only the tip of the iceberg (or sandstone shelf, or pool of lava, or windmass)

Go downhill? I thought the ending was pretty good--if not a weensy bit contrived.

The resolution with Tarlok and Amon was probably the best bit for me personally, because of how dark it was. How they got away with it despite censorship things that could have interfered if they hadn't directed it well. Pretty brilliant. Stuff.

And despite sounding ten years too young, Zuko 2.0 is pretty cool.

The ending was... okay (I'm not a big fan of Korra's bending resolutions). I'm referring more to the focus on pro-bending, which to me took up way too much time. It introduced important characters but it wasn't that important to the plot otherwise and I think it could have been cut down. I would rather have seen Korra's struggle with airbending as well as more on the Equalists. And then there was the love triangle which turned me off Mako a lot, and Korra to a lesser extent. The narration never properly called Mako out on his behaviour and the creators try to excuse it. Bolin gets shoved to the side, as does Asami and others.

It went downhill and up more at the end, but it's still got some problems in my opinion.

I strongly believe that the anything lackluster in the ending to Book 1 was simply because the producers behind Korra really didn't believe there'd be a Book 2. I mean, they've taken this long to make book 2 and I'm sure they wanted it to be pack-full of awesome as to not disappointed the fans that made book 2 happen. Fans, mind you, that have been especially impatient and sometimes rage-filled.The first Avatar? Don't tell me that isn't exciting!Hopefully, if Korra does officially become a series thing, the writers and staff will have a blast without the strain of being cancelled every minute. And I say officially only because the pessimistic critics of LoK like to think that Book 2 is just a freebie.They deserve a chance! It should be obvious by now that LoK isn't just a spinoff anymore.

I'm not willing to battle br about it, but i honestly think the amon/tarrlok conclusion was pretty fail and out of place. I don't quite care if they didn't think they'd be getting a second book, shit doesn't stop being shit because you had an excuse. :x

But anyway yeah. New season. Whoopee, yay.

first avatar is called Wan

I wonder if they'll even have a Book 3. TLA had a book for each element Aang had to learn. Korra only has troubles with air and her spiritual side right? So LoK only having 2 books may be it. Unless I'm forgetting something.

What would be fun to see, is an avatar that abuses lightning, metal and blood bending.Another thing, that I'm pretty sure people have thought of before, is the concept of the avatar being able to manipulate lightning and metal to abuse electromagnetism. idk how exactly it'd work, but just a random thought.
